Seven fellows were brought before
Judge McGee Saturday morning for a trial
on the charge of vagrancy. They seemed
to have been viewing the world recently
from a knot hole In the fence , for they
were hungry , ragged and forlorn. There did
not seem to be anything particularly against
them , and so they were discharged on con
dition of their leaving town by "noon , a
thing which they faithfully promised to do.
They left the station and went up the street ,
where they found tome one who fitted them
out with flags , and then they marched down
the street. On the way they gathered. It
Is said , fully a score of men who were Just
as ragged and forlorn as they , and somewhat
hungrier , for they had not had a jail break
fast. They did not stop until they reached
the Northwestern yards , and there they
boarded a flat car and left , like their prede
cessors , for Washington , taking their new
recruits with them. This sort of procedure
meets with a great deal of favor with the
authorities.

Hereafter Instead of paying the city $52.10
p-r month for the privilege of providing
thirsty humanity with cooling but Intoxi
cating beverages the saloon men will have
to pay $ 2S | x > r year , an Increase of $23 per
month , due to the passage of the mulct law.
Of this amount JtiOO will be paid to the
county treasurer. like all other taxes , as
provided by law. and the remainder will be
paid to the city clerk at the rate of J27.10
per month. If the number ot saloons under
the new law equals that under thr old pro
hibitory law this will give the city within
a few dollars of the came amount of revenue
from the saloons as before. The probability
is , however , that the additional f.e w II
drive some of the saloonlsts out of the busi
ness , while the requirements of the mulct
law that each saloon keeper shall flic a
$3,000 bond will prohibit others from engag
ing In It. no It U hardly likely that the city
will receive anything like the $40,004 or more
In revenue that U did under the old law.

Judges Caldwell , Snnborn and Th r r. sit
ting a * a L'nlted State * court of appeals In
St. Paul , Minn. , will today bo called upon to
consider n new and Important legal ques
tion , which arle * from a can tried In the
United Stale * ccnrt In thin city about a year
ago , with Judge Shims on the bench. W.
0. II. Honey and wife , who live near Red
Oak , were on their way to the depot to take
a train. Between them and the depot were
five or nix railway track. ' . Mr. Honey ran
acroes In advance of his wife to get the
tickets , ami when Mrs. Honey was about to
crws the last track of the series she found
her way barred by another train that had
just come In. She stepped back upon an
other track and Jmt then a switch engine ,
which . he had not * e < n , came up and
knocked h er'over. Injuring her very severely.
Honey and his wife each commenced an
action In the t'nlltd States court In this city
to recover damages from the Chicago. Bur
lington & Qulncy Railroad company for the
Injuries she received , and both cases were
tried before JudgeShlras. . Mrs. Honey lost
her case , the jury finding that she had been
guilty of contributory negligence and consequently
quently not entitled to recover damages.
The judgment of the jury In this case was
urged ns a reason why her husband should
also lose his cas . but Judge Shlras rather
took the wind out of the sails of the railway
attorney * by holdlng'that the contributory
negligence of the wife did not In the sjight-
est degree act as a bar to the husband's re
covery. The1 jury then proceeded to find a
verdict of $3.000 In favor of Honey.
The railway attorneys claimed that this
decision was faulty , and upon It they took
the case up to the court of appeals , and
the trial Is set for today. John N. Baldwin
and Smith McPherson of Red Oak left yes
terday afternoon for St. Paul to look after
the Interests of the Burlington road , and
C. M. Harl will represent Honey. It Is
claimed that the point at Issue is an entirely
dew one. never having been raised In any
court In the country before , and legal and
railway circles are considerably Interested
in watching the outcome.
Silt. .AtlDIlLKIlltOOIv'S INVITATION .
Oratorical in"itlirncp : of the Man Who
\Vuiitn thn TrntelrrA in Colorado.
When the supreme lodge of the Commer
cial Pilgrims of America laid Itself open
to the delegate- ! ) who had speeches to make
Saturday , Delegate Mlddlebrook presented
the claims of Colorado. That he won , hands
down , so to speak , evinces the merit of his
effort. He said :
Colorado , the Queen of the Rockies , sends
greeting to you. From her high peaks that
catch and hold and glorify the sunlight , she
flashes her good will , and from her valleys
that rest beneath the shadows of her snowy
domes she wafts her love. This ought to
make you feel good , fcr we have the finest
state on o.irtli.
We have room enough in Colorado to give
to every man. woman and child In the world
( according to the latest estimated population )
a lot for a house 13xl ; > feet , with an as
phalt "boulevard" around the same nine
Inches > .Ide. and If It were necessary , could
furnish the material from our mountain5
and forests to build a house for each in
habitant , as aforesaid , two stories high ,
gable roof. Iron chimneys and plank flooring.
We have produced precious metals enough
to give each man. woman and child in the
world 25 cents to sec the fat woman ride the
hump backed camel at the circus and 10
cents for brick colored lemonade. Have
enough water to float the combined navies of
the world. , but not deep enough to wet the
shoulder blades of a dried herring , and a man
seldom has to roll up his trousers when he
takes a drink. Have coal enough to roa = t
Mulhatton's chestnuts from now till the
crack of doom. Have corner lots enough to
reach to Omaha. Have railroads enough to
keep forty Vanderbllta out of the poor house
and to furnish strikes for everybody. Have
oil enough to keep the torch of liberty burnIng -
Ing until a Mormon elder H elected president
of this magnificent republic. We will then
prefer to keep In the dark like Moses. We
have marble enough to make monuments to
mark the graves of every dead ambition. life
less boom or mouldering scheme that was
ever fathered by a traveling man.
We raise enough potatoes every year to
feed the Irish ; wool enough to clothe the
Zulus ; alfalfa enough to supply the world's
tea and tobacco trade , and Governor AValte
enough to keep everybody guessing who
will be appointed next on the fire aud po
lice board. We have the most picturesque
governor that ever rode a blind Mexican
mule with the staggers through rivers of
blood to the bridle bit.
We have the finest schools In the world ,
and our kindergarten branches teach every
thing from the delsartc- method of holding
out four aces and two-card draw , to the
metempsychosis of a drummer. Have
pretty girls enough to keep four factories at
work making lips for an army of a travel
ers' convention , and" enough homely ones to
turn back Coxey's army. Tradition states
that when Ben Butler saw a few of our
charming widows , he fell back In the arms
of his valet and exclaimed :
"Oh , Helseanno , strikeme , honored sir.
Give me a gash , put me to present pain ,
lest this great sea of Joys rushing upon
me o'erbear the shores of my mortality , and
drown me with their sweetness. "
The state Is still young ; but the male pop
ulation are nearly all either majors , colonels
or Judges , with a goodly sprinkling of gen
erals and commodores ; but they are all good
fellows , while the ladles are all sweet , and
either the wives or sweethearts of these
prominent men. We haven't a real Simon
Pure John Jacob Astor sarsaparllla dude In
Colorado , because we only raise the sugar
cane with a small handle , and because every
body Is too bitty making money and empires'
to raise and cultivate the shy and timid
dude. The wild , wooly and a yard wide
cowboy , who spits big gobs of fire , escaped
w.th the last buffalo. We deal out men for
breakfast every morning now. and we have
more spears ot grass than Indians ; but It Is
a paradise for the KnlghU of Travel. Its
balmy air ; Its snowy peaks that bow their
heads like hooded monks to receive the bene
dictions of the rising sun ; IU valleya and
hurling streams make you thmk of Hlysian
scenes , and when I get to talking of Colorado
rado and medicated paper I don't know when
to quit. I will only add that the country I
repre ent ls far west across the
Buffalo range , once designated the
"Great American Desert. " I represent a
state , few of whose citizens were born there ;
but coming from almost every quarter of the
globe , bringing with them distinctive charac
teristics and Influenced by the local customs
Incident to their early training and associa
tions.
Colorado , my adopted state. Is challenging
the attention of the world today by her
symmetrical mountain chains , her mineral
waters , that offer health to all who are
suffering from any of the Ills known to the
human body. Her deep canons , fertile val
leys , beautiful parks and scenes of grandeur ,
and wonders wherever one'1 may go , and more
than all her mountain locked treasure vaults
that are long and deep , deposited by an al
mighty hand , and made subject to the drafts
of man at sight.

It la reported that the board of fire under
writers contemplate an early readjustment
of Insurance rates which will In effect put
a prohibition on the further use of wood
lath In all kinds of structures. The ruinous
losses of the companies during the past year
and the gloomy prospects thus far this year
Indicate a necessity fur such a change as
will result In greater security from total
loss In event of fire occurring. Investiga
tions carried on by experts have demon
strated that the artificial warming of
houses under the high radiation peculiar
to the steam and furnace heating apparatus
used alone in the X'nlted States dries the
Interior woodwork up almost to the point
of spontaneous combustion , it Is asserted
that wood lath , besides contributing their
Inflammability to spread the flames , be
come explosive by reason of the accumula
tion of atmospheric dust on the fuzzy fiber
left by the saw on their exposed and un-
plastered surface Inside the partitions. The
remedy Is to use metallic lath , vrich holds
the plaster as an Incombustible covering
over the wood frame work and divides the
house by rooms Into a series of fireproof
compartments. Steel Is now so cheap that
metallic lath costs but a trifle more than
wood and so completely resists fire that
It Is a practicable Impossibility for a build
ing so protected to burn down. In view
of the liability of loss of life by destruc
tion of hospitals , asylums , hotels , theaters
and school houses , there are special reasons
why precautionary measures should be taken
In such structures. '

Nebraska fruit growers were feeling very
jubilant over the prospects of a largo crop
but their expectations have dropped sev
eral degrees since the frost of Friday night.
According to the reports of local garden
ers the frost has taken a very considerable
proportion of the vegetable crop In this lo
cality and home grown vegetables are not
likely to be as plenty this season as last.
J. K. Taylor of Norfolk Is planting seventy-
five acres of white beans. There Is always
a demand for beans In Nebraska In excess of
the production , and California or some other
bean growing state has to be called upon to
make up the deficiency.
The Omaha Fruit Auction company Is
hurrying forward the work of putting their
auction rooms In shape at 912-914 Jones
street. When the work Is completed , which
will be In the course of the next three or
four days. It is safe to say that no city ot the
size can show any better fruit auction rooms.
The company has leased the ground floor of
the building formerly occupied by the Omaha
Hardware company. In the front part a
room has been partitioned off and furnished
with seats for the buyers , and an elevated
desk for the auctioneer. The balance of the
space will be used for storage purposs.
Three cars can be unloaded at a time at the
front doors of the auction rooms , while twice
the number of drays can be loading at the
rear doors. Auctions will be held as soon
as the California fruit commences to arrive
ID car lots.
According to the reports from California
there is still promise of a heavy yield when
all classes of large and small fruits are con
sidered. This includes berries as well as the
larger fruits. Frost touched apricots In
some places , where they will be below the
average In yield. Cherries , pears and
prunes were also damaged to some extent tn
exposed places. May 2 , but that damage was
not extensive. Since the rains two weeks
ago , trees and vines have taken a new start
In such counties as were benefited. In
Sonoma county fruit Is reported to be drop
ping , still It Is claimed there will be left entrees
trees enough to make a good crop. In the
San Ramon valley fruit has. all set well , and
It Is all right and plentiful In Tahama ,
Butte. Glenn and Yuba counties. In
Placer county work has begun In thin
ning out the peach crop. Strawberries
there are In Immense quantities :
cherries are moving freely to market. The
crop Is called especially fine In Eldorado
county. Cherrle * are ripe In Sacramento
county , and plums of all varieties are re
ported to be a very heavy crop , growing fast
and promise to b early. Large crops of
fruits are promised In Solano , Napa , MerceJ
and many other counties , while In Maderla
there Is more or less trouble with grub
worms that destroyed one-third of the first
crop cf grapes. They did great damage to
many vineyard } on low , sandy ground In
Fresno county , and apricots In Tulare county
are said to b short , with many falling from
the trees , but In these same counties other
sorts ot fruit are looking well. In Los
Angeles plums , prune * and apricots are said
to promise an extra Urge yield , w.th. excel
lent ( inspect * alia in San Dlegu county.

City Weighing oFcoal.
City Attorney Farnsworth has prepared
an ordinance In compliance with the resolu
tion offered by Councilman Ryan , which re
quires all coal dealers to weigh their coal
upon the city scales before It Is delivered to
the purchaser. It is not likely the ordinance
will pas , as several councllmen have openly
made the assertion that they would not vote
for Its passage.
In speaking of the proposed ordinance , a
prominent coal dealer said : "I am heartily
In favor of any local law which will enforce
full weights and measurements In the coal
business , but an ordinance compelling us to
weigh all of our coal upon the city scales
would be Impracticable. It Is a common oc
currence for us to send out the wagon with
three and four small orders on It at once.
There was a great manT people In South
Omaha who cannot afford to buy thejr coal
by the ton. They buy it "in half ton and in
500-pound lots oftenbr' than In any other
quantities. In orderto rewelgh all these
orders the coal would have to be dumped
off and loaded on again. ' thereby Incurring
quite an expense. If this work had to be
done the dealer would simply have to raise
the price on coal , and the poor people , who
are supposed to get the benefit , would bo the
very ones who would suffer the loss. The
proper thing to do would bto hare the city
welghmaster keep his eve open for dealers
who are mistrusted , aJid when he finds a
load that he believes * to be short , drive It
on to the city scales andfind out. "

from Twenty-fourth'-1 tjj 'Twenty-seventh is
good news to the majority of' the citizens
here. N street Is one.of the principal streets
in South Omaha. All the banks in the city
are on this street. Jt is the main thorough
fare from the car line to the Exchange
building and packing houses , the city offices ,
city jail , police court and about half the re
tail stores are on this street. The walks
now down are In a bad condition and in fail
the whole street has the appearance of one
In a country town that had seen better days.
The paving is so rough and full of holes
that It Is unsafe to drive over It. Persons
who have to do business on N street hitch
their horses on Twenty-fourth and walk
down for fear they will break a spring or
wheel. Efforts have been made to get a
majority of the property ouners to sign a
petition to rcpave , but all attempts have
failed. It Is said that an effort will be made
to stop the laying of the sidewalks , but so
far no person lia * made public his objection.
